Association between the tertiles of dietary pattern ‘High SFA, high DED, high sodium’ and coronary heart disease (CHD).
| Model | Tertiles of DP ‘High SFA, high DED, high sodium’ | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2nd tertile vs. 1st tertile | 3rd tertile vs. 1st tertile | |||||
| OR | 95% CI | p value | OR | 95% CI | p value | |

aModel 1: adjusted for age and sex.
bModel 2: age, sex, race, education level, income, family history, marital status.
cModel 3: age, sex, race, education level, income, family history of CHD, marital status, smoking, physical activity, stress level and BMI. Multicollinearity was checked using variance inflation factor (VIF) for each independent variable in the model (VIF < 5: no correlation found). Binary logistic regression was used to test the association of tertiles of DP1 with CHD *Significant level at p value < 0.05. CI Confidence interval, DED Dietary energy density, OR: odd ratio.
